Hey guys, hope someone can help me out. I've got a new 06 roadster with 1500 miles. Yesterday I made a u-turn at a light, accelerated, shifted and noticed my tach needle wasn't moving, it appeard to be stuck in place. Then it jerked a couple times to different readings and then began to operate normally. Continued my drive hope, played with the rpms, all appeared normal the rest of the drive. Decided I was imagining things.

Today. Made a u-turn and saw the exact same behavior. Tach needle appeared to be stuck and it took a couple of shifts and a quarter mile before it came back to normal operation.

So I'd appreciate any advice or insight. Figure a call to the dealer is in order in the morning.

Thanks,

what exactly did you need help with? seems that you came up with the answer all by yourself.

 

Just thought someone might have seen this before, possibly had it resolved - or know what causes it. Seemed like this was a good group to ask.

it happens 2 a lot of us....in my 2 years w/ 2 different Z's...its happened a total of 4 times.....so......its jus something that happens....seems to only happen when its really hot out...and the heat is hitting the tach.....only my experiences....no fix 4 it...jus a glitch in the matrix!!!!!!

 

That happend to me yesterday. My speedometer was stuck too for a few minutes.

 

I was stopped at the light with the top down and sun behind me, temp about 75, so there was plenty of heat on the tach. Just wonder how that would affect its operation. Sorry it's happening to others but at the same time just a little relieved.

That was a dick thing to say. I thought that's what the Z forums are for?

 

when the sun hits the tach, it goes blank for some reaosn. Next time it does that, block the sun, and youll see it goes normal again.

 

how do you figure? The best person to handle something like that would be the dealer. If your feelings get hurt so easily you should never move away from home.
